RAAB Radio 49: Drunk and Disorderly
Hello my maggots, here’s another Ribbon Around a Bomb podcast for ya! The theme for the evening? BOOZE, in all it’s inhibition-crushing glory. I’m actually too terrified to listen to this considering how much I drank by the end of it. Anyway, stream or download the show here, or roll poseur and just read the playlist below.
Do you recognize any of the artists on the list? Of course you do- because if you choose to listen, you probably already enjoy obscuro ’70s punk. But if by chance you’re a conventional music listener, and you’re like, “What is all this crap?” may I call to your attention the fact that I played Chumbawamba’s anthem “Tubthumping”? Never sorry. And… as much as I hate to be this guy, I can’t resist the cliche Chumbawamba tangent: “Oh, but did you know… back in the early ’80s, Chumbawamba actually used to be this totally radical anarcho-punk group, staunchly anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, concerned with animal rights and class struggle… blah blah blah.” NO ONE CARES.
Everything they’ve done since the ’90s on cancels all of that out. The only thing that still matters were these fucking awesome hair styles they used to have, which also serve as proof of their anarcho-punk roots. Check it out:
